Montana’s Big Sky has some of the most epic scenery in the country and – arguably – the best skiing in North America. Check out our guide on where to stay, with stunning lodging options all bookable on Culture Trip.
This part of Montana was always known as the West Entrance to Yellowstone National Park, but hasn’t had quite the winter kudos of places like Aspen, Colorado. However, in recent years – with the development of more lift access and the addition of luxury lodges and cabins – this is swiftly changing. Most significantly, this beautiful mountain resort and community have managed to keep its rustic feel.

Some packages include breakfast at the excellent Peaks Restaurant.
Located at the base of Lone Peak means not only being steps from ski lifts, but also enjoying views and alpine ambiance from the hotel’s deck and from around the fire pit. The floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the lobby also afford fabulous views, while the Altitudes Bar is a great meeting place for après ski. This rustic property has an extensive choice of accommodation with 130 guest rooms and suites, and a hot breakfast is included in the price. For those who visit in the summer, there’s rafting, hiking, biking, ziplining and fishing – plus, you are only a short distance from the West Entrance to Yellowstone National Park.
This exceptional three-bedroom property is the perfect luxury option for larger parties or families – and it’s also close to Yellowstone National Park, unrivaled for summer activities including hiking, mountain biking, fly fishing and rafting.

Each bedroom has a private bathroom, and there is a TV and Wii gaming console to enjoy in the loft.

This spacious, attractive and modern property is within walking distance of Mountain Village, though the après ski on site – at the Copper Whisky Bar and Grill – is pretty special. Get the family or friends round for a dip in the enormous, heated pool or one of the hot tubs while enjoying views of Lone Peak Mountain. The European-style breakfast buffet is included in the price. When you’ve finished skiing, try out the Wilson Townie Bikes for a spin around town, or check out the fitness center or games room.
Named for its location right on the Gallatin River, this attractive property is off of Highway 191 – not far from the turn-off for Big Sky – with Mountain Village only a further 15 minutes away, and with access to the West Entrance to Yellowstone Park. It may be demure, but this inn is all about comfort and convenience, with continental breakfast included and the spacious king room option featuring its own fireplace. There is an outdoor heated pool with a waterslide for the kids and alpine views galore.
Located at the Spanish Peaks Mountain Club, this five-bedroom, log-cabin-styled property with seven bathrooms is something extraordinary – but what is most remarkable is the stunning lakeside location. The main level has a spacious living room with a gas-burning fireplace with two bedrooms. On the lower level is a fun den – also with a fireplace – with access to the deck area outside, an outdoor grill and a hot tub. The remaining three bedrooms are on the upper levels, and there is a full-sized, chef-grade kitchen with every gadget and utensil under the sun.
